While busy this weekend with a lot of personal matters, I did nonetheless keep up with Mitt Romney's visit to Israel, where he gave a great rebuke to the Obama Regime by noting Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and his visit to Poland, where he received the endorsement of Nobel Peace Prize recipient for leading the Solidarity movement against the Communist puppet government, Lech Walesa.

But Romney's message is a threat to the Obama Regime and their lapdogs are busy trying to change the narrative. It called manufacturing a media distraction....at the Polish Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of all places (Kristinn at FreeRepublic)

Reporters accompanying presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney yelled questions at Romney about his so-called mistakes and gaffes on his foreign trip as the candidate left the Polish Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw today.

The barrage prompted one of Romney's press aides, Rick Gorka, to lose his cool at reporters. Of course, those reporters are making the aide's profanity the story and not their own incredible rudeness.

CNN: "Governor Romney just a few questions sir, you haven't taken but three questions on this trip from the press!

Gorka: "Show some respect"

NYT: "We haven't had another chance to ask a question..."

Gorka: "Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect."

Acosta added: Moments later, Gorka told Jonathan Martin, a reporter for Politico, to "shove it." About a half-hour later, the aide called reporters to apologize.

The news media would be crucified if they treated Barack Obama this way (they never would, of course.) They should be crucified for their infantile, insulting behavior.

Gorka shouldn't have apologized. The lapdogs should apologize to the Polish people for showing such a lack of reverence at a sacred memorial.

But the bigger story here is how the media is busy covering for Obama. You notice that it took days before his infamous "you didn't build that" statement was reported by the lapdogs? There was not a lot of coverage when he referred to the "57 States" or "Navy Corpseman." either.

You certainly didn't see the media get as up in arms with Obama's "Polish Death Camps" reference as they are about this exchange with the Romney press aide.

And remember what happened to Neil Munro of the Daily Caller, when he tried to ask The Anointed One a question about his illegal executive order on amnesty?

Of course, that was the reporters' fault, because it was Obama being questioned.

A San Francisco socialist, sure, but who'd have thought Nancy Pelosi had anti-Semitism running in her ice-cold veins (Washington ComPost, via Twitchy).

In a pot-stirring interview with Al Hunt, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Jews who oppose President Obama’s treatment of Israel are faking concern over the Jewish state. The comments are bound to stir anger among pro-Israel advocates. Pelosi argued that “many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy.”

...You know, as many of the Republicans are using Israel as an excuse, what they really want are tax cuts for the wealthy. So Israel, that can be one reason they put forth.

HUNT: That’s why some of the Republican Jewish supporters are really active.

PELOSI: Well, that’s how they’re being exploited. And they’re smart people. They follow these issues.

In other words, it's the stereotype of the money hungry jooooooos, used by the worst Speaker of the House in U.S. History.

So, Washington DC's corrupt liberal Mayor has joined the liberal gestapo against Chick-Fil-A, whose owners are Bible believing Christians and believe marriage should be limited between one man and one woman (Washington ComPost, h/t American Power via Twitter).

D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray said Friday he would not support an expansion of Chick-fil-A in the District, referring to it as “hate chicken.”

Gray issued his statement on Twitter after mayors in Boston, Chicago and San Francisco also stated that the company was not welcome due to president Dan Cathy’s outspoken opposition to same-sex marriage.

“Given my long standing strong support for LGBT rights and marriage equality, I would not support #hatechicken,” Gray wrote.

Earlier Friday, Gray declined to take a stand on the company, saying he needed more time to review its position on gay rights. But administration officials noted Gray has been a strong supporter of gay rights.

In 2010, when he was council chairman, Gray helped legalize same-sex marriage. Last month, as mayor, Gray signed into law what he called one of the nation’s toughest anti bullying laws.

Gray waded into the Chick-fil-A debate even though the company does not have a big presence in the city and has no known plans for an expansion.

Never mind that Chick-fil-A does not discriminate against gay employees or customers. I guess Mayor Gray is simply looking for a good distraction for support, after some serious corruption allegations have been leveled against him (BizJournals).

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray on Wednesday said he has no plans to resign in the wake of the most clear evidence to date that his 2010 campaign was corrupted by a shadow organization and hundreds of thousands of dollars of unreported contributions.

“This was not the campaign we intended to run,” Gray said during his weekly press briefing, held in an alley in far Northeast D.C. “I have said to many, many people I got into this for the right reasons.

...Gray’s briefing comes less than 24 hours after Jeanne Clarke Harris, 75, a Gray campaign contributor, admitted in U.S. District Court that she helped disburse and conceal some $650,000 in unreported campaign funds — collected from D.C. business magnate Jeffrey Thompson — as part of a shadow Gray campaign. Harris pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, for which she faces up to 37 months in prison.

....A special committee has been selected to review preparations for the memorial events, which will run Sept. 9 to 11. The committee members "all have a connection, either themselves or through others close to them, to the tragic day," Gray said.

Each day of remembrance corresponds to an aspect of the theme, "One City ... One World: Peace, Tolerance, Service and Remembrance."

Local schools will observe the first day, designated as a Day of Tolerance, with a peace-promoting curriculum. A 2001 resolution by the D.C. Board of Education requires public schools in the city observe the day with anti-racism lessons.

Washington kids are invited on the second day, called the Day of Peace, to toss rose petals at Hains Point and discuss the value of peace.

On the heels of Thursday's White House Press Briefing with Clueless Jay Carney, the Emergency Committee for Israel created an ad that hits how the Obama Regime had refused to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital city of the Jewish state, in contrast to Richard Milhous Obama's 2008 speech to AIPAC (National Review Online, via Mark Levin).

Breitbart's Big Peace noted back in March, that the Washington Free Beacon found a press release from the US State Department that referred to Jerusalem and Israel as two separate entities, which led to the questioning at the State Department seen in the ad above. That was followed up on Thursday at the White House by the two most senior WH correspondents: Connie Lawn and Les Kinsolving.

Don Perry, the PR Vice President of Chick-fil-A, has died today of an apparent heart attack.

Many of the tolerant Left have taken to Twitter to mock his death in a manner that doesn't reflect the new tone of civility mentioned by their false Messiah, Richard Milhous Obama at Tucson, AZ last year.

Because of election year politics and pandering to the radical illegal alien lobby, Richard Milhous Obama, through his unconstitutional executive order, has ensured our borders are wide open and anyone who commits a crime can be released.

The press conference revealed that the DREAMer policy, under Department of Homeland Security and ICE was nothing more than a get out of jail free card. Two members that represent thousands of agents, Chris Crane, the president of the National Immigration and Customs Council who represents 7,200 ICE agents and George McCubbin, president of the National Border Patrol Council who represents 17,000 agents described a lawless agency.

One example used focused on last week’s El Paso, Texas incident where an illegal alien was arrested after he physically assaulted a family member, tried to keep that person from calling police and was subsequently arrested by an ICE agent who was then assaulted by the illegal alien himself before trying to flee arresting officers. Under the new DREAM Act, this man was released without charge because he was under 30 and said he went to high school in the U.S.

McCubbin and Crane further illustrate that agents do not need any proof that illegal aliens went to high school or received a GED- their word is good enough under President Obama’s new DREAMer policy.

Agents are said to be furious at the prosecutorial discretion policy.

However, the Latino community couldn’t be happier with the President’s new amnesty program and some said it would get him votes in the upcoming 2012 election.

In my post last night about the attacks by liberals and the gay gestapo on Chick-fil-A, I wrote:

I mean, seriously, look at the hostility one will get if they claim they are a Christian and believe in the idea of traditional marriage. You won't get the "tolerance" liberals claim to have a monopoly of, since they are intolerant of any form of organized religion (except Islam, of course, never mind Islam mandates outright intolerance and death towards gays) because the idea of a Higher Being conflicts with the concept of Statism, where there can be no higher authority than The State.

Democrats are congenital hypocrites, so it should be no surprise that while Chicago Mayor, and all around thug, Rahm Emanuel is trashing Chick-fil-A as “not having Chicago values” because the company’s president isn’t keen on gay marriage, he’s fine with radical Islam, which has a zero tolerance policy towards homosexuals. And by zero tolerance, I mean they put them to death. That’s a tad more harsh than being against gay marriage, wouldn’t you say?

Boston’s Mayor who as BreitbartTV reports just “banned” Chick-fil-A in his city, is also down with anti-gay radical Islam, and has put his money, or should I say the city’s money, where his mouth is, giving the anti-gay group one hell of a deal on city owned property so they can build a gay hating mosque.

Jacobson points out that Chicago’s, Rahm Emanuel is supporting the call to block Chick-fil-A in Chicago, yet the city recently allowed Louis Farrakan, of the Nation of Islam, to re-open a restaurant there.

He also shows that the same mayor leading the charge against Chick-fil-A in Boston, Mayor Thomas M. Menino, allegedly has a double standard when it comes to the “homophobic” argument.

This is the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, a.k.a. “Menino’s Mosque.”

Mayor Menino “sold” $2 million worth of city property to the ISB for $175,000,despite their well-documented links to Muslim extremism. The mosque teaches a form of Islam that condemns homosexuals to death.

And Menino won’t let a guy spend his own money opening a restaurant because he doesn’t support same-sex marriage? Hey, Mayor Moron—when we the last time Chick-Fil-A stoned a gay guy to death?

Intolerance in the name of "tolerance" as only liberals can practice it.

You know, those bleeding hearts you see on the road everyday with their "Coexist" bumper stickers. They're so tolerant and peaceful, except when it comes to people who might be Conservatives, Bible-believing Christians, or someone who believes in traditional values.

The new target? Chick-fil-A, because the owner of the fast food chain believes in the idea of the traditional family (Human Events).

It appears that CNN relied on the sources that sparked that “social media wildfire” instead of reading the Cathy interview themselves, because Terry Mattingly at GetReligion.org notes that during the interview in question, the Chick-fil-A president did not directly address the subject of gay marriage at all. He said “guilty as charged” when asked about support for the traditional family, extended by Chick-fil-A through a foundation called WinShape (“shaping people to be winners.”) Their purpose is to strengthen traditional families in every way, including keeping parents together to raise their children.

There’s not much doubt, even from the context of this single interview, that Cathy is referring to the union of husbands, wives, and children when he discusses support for the traditional family, but that’s not the same thing as condemning anyone.

As it happens, Cathy has directly addressed the topic of gay marriage recently, when he said during a radio interview: “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’ I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think we can try to define what marriage is all about.”

...Gay marriage is one of those agonizing social issues in which the two sides do not remotely agree on the terms of the debate. Those who share Cathy’s beliefs find it impossible to extend “marriage” to include same-sex relationships without altering the definition of marriage, which inherently requires a man and a woman. Same-sex marriage proponents of good will disagree, arguing that the sex of the participants is not relevant to the importance and power of the institution. It’s possible to hold either of these positions without being motivated by bigotry.

Of course, the name of the game being played against Chick-fil-A involves ending the discussion, by ruling one side of this important social debate completely out of order, and dismissing their beliefs as unworthy of respect. All resistance to gay marriage is instantly transmuted into personal hatred of gay people. On the other hand, criticism of traditional marriage proponents cannot be viewed as hateful, no matter how angrily it might be expressed. It’s a rigged heads-we-win, tails-you-lose game.

Cathy isn’t allowed to encourage reverence and support for the traditional family, or even worse, put his money where his mouth is. He’s not allowed to say that he finds moral or practical value in the time-honored definition of marriage, without feeling animosity towards gay people. His ideas and principles are automatic thought crimes, no matter how gently and constructively they might be presented.

“The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,” the company declared in a statement. “Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.” But as thought crime perpetrators, they will be judged incapable of expressing such high-minded sentiments with sincerity.

Chick-Fil-A has not turned away a single gay customer because the customer was gay. Chick-Fil-A has not discriminated against either employees or customers. But Democrats want to shut them down anyway, because they don’t stay silent on the issue of same-sex marriage. Dan Savage, founder of the Obama-endorsed It Gets Better anti-bullying campaign, has already taken to Twitter to try to define the term “Chick-Fil-A” as a form of anal sex – just as he did with Rick Warren and Rick Santorum when they failed to endorse same-sex marriage. This is bullying at its worst. And it shows the desperation of Democrats who will do anything – anything – to misdirect public attention from their dramatic policy ineptitude.

This is dangerous, and unconstitutional. It is one thing for a private individual to decide where they want to do business, but it is an attack on the First Amendment liberals claim to be such champions of when they seek to punish business owners for their own personal beliefs. History has shown how dangerous regimes have done similar atrocities.

(Disgraced former New York Attorney General Elliot) SpitzerSpitzer is saying here is that if, as a Christian, you’ve correctly interpreted the Bible to understand that God promotes man/woman couples and disapproves of homosexuality, then you deserve to lose business. He’s also stated categorically that any Christian who believes this also thinks gays are “second class citizens” who “don’t deserve the same rights” as straights.

While it’s true that some misguided Christians do indeed, unfortunately, “hate gays” rather than taking the correct attitude that you are to “love the sinner and hate the sin” (as we are supposed to do with ALL sinners, since we are all sinners ourselves), there are many more who don’t “hate gays” at all but who DO believe that the definition of marriage should be that it consists of one man and won woman only. Some Christians base their beliefs solely on Biblical scripture (while God is not tolerant of any sin at all, the Bible makes it clear that He is the judge when it comes to sin, not anyone here on Earth). Others use secular arguments to justify their position. And others base it on a mixture of both. But the important thing to note here is that it is a non-violent religious belief grounded in scripture and for the Cathy family of Chick-fil-A to change their stance on the issue in order to become sufficiently “tolerant” to Spitzer and the liberal Gay Gestapo (and to avoid further political blackmail, which I’ll get into in a minute) would mean violating their religious principles.

Ironically enough, it was Spitzer himself who said two years ago that religious intolerance had no place in a modern American society …. but in this instance he was talking about the controversial “Ground Zero mosque” in a broad-based discussion on so-called “Islamophobia” in general.

I believe this is nothing more than liberals and the Gay Gestapo engaging in the same bigotry and bullying they always claim to condemn. I mean, seriously, look at the hostility one will get if they claim they are a Christian and believe in the idea of traditional marriage. You won't get the "tolerance" liberals claim to have a monopoly of, since they are intolerant of any form of organized religion (except Islam, of course, never mind Islam mandates outright intolerance and death towards gays) because the idea of a Higher Being conflicts with the concept of Statism, where there can be no higher authority than The State.

So, I'm going to start a Wednesday tradition for the time being. Because of the liberals' intolerance towards a Christian owned business and the practice of their First Amendment right, I went to Chick-fil-A this afternoon. Feel free to do the same, if you are so inclined.

Hey Roseanne, Rahm, Mayor Menino and all you liberals suffering from Christophobia....this is for you!

You can tell the blow back from Richard Milhous Obama's "if you have a business, you didn't build that" comment in Roanoke, VA almost two weeks ago is bad because, he wants you to believe he didn't say that.

The Anointed One even released an ad talking about how much he "loves" small business (Just One Minute).

"Those ads taking my words about small business out of context - they're flat out wrong," the president says in the 31-second pitch. "Of course Americans build their own businesses. Every day, hard-working people sacrifice to meet a payroll, create jobs and make our economy run."

"And what I said was that we need to stand behind them, as America always has, by investing in education and training, roads and bridges research and technology," he says. "I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message because I believe we're all in this together."

There is no such thing as a self-made man. Every businessman has used the vast American infrastructure, which the taxpayers paid for, to make his money. He did not make his money alone. He used taxpayer infrastructure. He got rich on what other taxpayers had paid for: the banking system, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury and Commerce Departments, and the judicial system, where nine-tenths of cases involve corporate law. These taxpayer investments support companies and wealthy investors. There are no self-made men! They wealthy have gotten rich using what previous taxpayers have paid for. They owe the taxpayers of this country a great deal and should be paying it back.

Notice how Warren and Obama have echoed these ideas in the above videos. Of course, none of them would know about running a business, because community organizing and working in some red university isn't the same as coming up with an idea, marketing it, hiring people, all the stuff that goes into making a business.

Don't be fooled, Obama meant every word when he said all of those who own small businesses "didn't build that." Now, Romney needs to keep pouring the attacks on, as the blowback is resonating with business owners across the country.

One of conservatism's greatest voices, and one of the first in Congress to get behind the Tea Party was Michele Bachmann. She's always been a favorite, and an active opponent of ObamaCare, and the efforts to repeal it.

Granted, there were times I disagreed with some of her claims during the GOP primary, such as claims she hit Texas Gov. Rick Perry with over a vaccine he mandated be given to teenage girls and that it caused retardation (as one mother told her). Making the vaccine mandatory was a legitimate question, but bringing up claims with no proof to back them up wasn't the best thing for her to do.

Just recently, Bachmann has come under fire because she, as well as Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Trent Franks of Arizona, Tom Rooney of Florida, and Lynn Westmorland of Georgia have written letters with very legitimate about infiltration and influence of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in our government. The Brotherhood has essentially taken over power in Egypt after the so-called "Arab Spring" and, according to FBI Director Robert Muller, has supported terrorism here and overseas. The Brotherhood's motto is "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

Senator John McCain ought to be embarrassed. So should House Speaker John Boehner and Congressman Mike Rogers, the former FBI agent who chairs the Select Committee on Intelligence.

These pillars of the Republican establishment have been championing the cause of Huma Abedin, the deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Ms. Abedin’s name arose, along with several others, in connection with questions pressed by five conservative House Republicans regarding Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the United States government. The GOP establishment, led by McCain, Boehner, and Rogers, has been slamming Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, one of the five House conservatives, over her refusal to back down from concerns over Ms. Abedin.

Here are four things, among many, that we now know:

1. Huma Abedin’s mother, Dr. Saleha S. Mahmood Abedin (hereafter, Saleha Abedin), is an influential member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s division for women, the Muslim Sisterhood. She is also a zealous advocate of sharia law’s oppression of women — which McCain himself condemned in a 2011 interview with Der Spiegel.

2. Not only that: Saleha Abedin is a board member of the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief. The IICDR has been long banned in Israel for supporting Hamas. It is also part of the Union for Good, which is a formally designated international terrorist organization under federal law. The Union for Good is led by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the chief sharia jurist of the Muslim Brotherhood. He is the world’s most influential Islamic cleric, and has issued fatwas endorsing suicide bombings against Israel and terrorist attacks against American forces in Iraq.

According to Walid Shoebat, a former MB member, Abedin also served on the board of the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs from around December 2002 to September 2008. From December 2002 to 2003, someone named Abdullah Omar Naseef served on the IMMA Advisory Board.

Over the weekend, McCarthy wrote another piece for National Review Online, on how McLame stated his opposition to the MB over a year ago to the German publication Der Speigel. But that was then, and apparently McLame has just fallen back to his usual habit of attacking conservatives.

Quite frankly, I've had it with that pathetic bastard McLame. If you want to thank anyone for the election of Richard Milhous Obama and this nightmare America has lived under for the last three years, thank John McLameattack Donald Rumsfeld every chance he could get, but he's unwilling to go after corrupt, racist Attorney General Eric Holder with the same vigor.

John McLame will attack Tea Party members as "hobbits" just for calling for fiscal restraint in national spending, and was slow to defend Sarah Palin in all the vicious attacks on her. But that pathetic old S.O.B. apparently has no problems propping up people linked to the radical Islamism just so he can stay on Hillary Rotten's good side.

I feel the same way about that crybaby coward John Boehner and these other eunuch RINOs. He should not be Speaker of the House for the cowardice and lack of leadership he has shown.

Instead of being attacked with the "McCarthyism" slur (and let's not forget, McCarthy was, in many ways, right in theory), Bachmann and the other Representatives should be defended and their legitimate concerns given a close look. McClame and these RINO cowards need to get an earful from those of us who are concerned not just about our nations economic security, but our national security.

Somewhere in Plains, GA, there's a ex-peanut farmer with a big smile on his face, because he no longer wears that title (San Diego Union Tribune, via Nice Deb).

He took office at a time when the U.S. economy was on its worst slide in 75 years, but pushed policies using borrowed money that were more meant to preserve government jobs than broadly help the private sector where the great majority of Americans work, ensuring the jobs crisis continued.

He railed against the heavy spending and big deficits of his predecessor, but blithely backed budgets that had triple the deficits ever seen in American history.

He promised a smart, sweeping overhaul of the U.S. health care system, but ended up giving us a Byzantine mess promoted to the public with myths: that offering subsidized care to tens of millions of people would save money; that people would keep their own doctors; that access to care wouldn’t change; and that rationing would never happen.

He promised a more sophisticated approach to the economy than that of his predecessor, but had so little common sense that his health law actually gave businesses a big financial incentive to discontinue providing health insurance to their employees.

He offered hosannas to genius entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs in his prepared remarks, but when speaking off the cuff betrayed his faculty-lounge view of the world, saying of businesspeople, “if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.”

He swore to bring overdue oversight and honest accounting to the corporate world, but made flagrantly dishonest claims about General Motors paying back its government loans that would have triggered a criminal fraud investigation in the private sector.

He promised to set a high new standard for ethics in the White House, but used a baffling claim of executive privilege to shield his embattled attorney general from the repercussions of a cover-up involving the death of a federal law enforcement officer.

Need another illustration of what America was promised, but got instead?

Viewer discretion is advised. Definitely not safe for work (NSFW). From Breitbart.TV.

The video may be funny to some, but the website and the campaign launched against casino owner Sheldon Adelson is a blatant intimidation tactic against a major Republican donor. And the advertisement and website is paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research, a federal Super PAC that relies on private funding just like the funding Adelson has pledged on behalf of Mitt Romney. Mr. Adelson was a donor cited in President Obama's "enemies list" put forth by his campaign highlighting major donors to Republican causes.

America woke up yesterday morning to the horrible news of an unthinkable tragedy...12 people killed, 50 injured/wounded in a movie theater for a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.

While we waited to hear more, as well as find out who did this and why would someone do such an act of mass murder, there's always now the uneasy feeling these days....who is going to use this tragedy for their own political motivations? Blaming a certain group or personality, as well as pushing some particular cause.

Buzzards, I called them once. Because they're not concerned about the victims, or their families. They use these events as a feeding frenzy to promote their causes and attack others, on a day when we should all come together.

You know, soothing words are nice, but maybe it’s time that the two people who want to be President of the United States stand up and tell us what they are going to do about it, because this is obviously a problem across the country.

And everybody always says, ‘Isn’t it tragic,’ and you know, we look for was the guy, as you said, maybe trying to recreate Batman. I mean, there are so many murders with guns every day, it’s just got to stop. And instead of the two people – President Obama and Governor Romney – talking in broad things about they want to make the world a better place, okay, tell us how.

And this is a real problem. No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities – specifically what are they going to do about guns?

Bloomberg is a callous S.O.B. Forget the families, many of whom had no idea where their loved ones were at the time, as some of the bodies were still in the theatre. It was time for the nanny staters to swoop down and take care of us, and that means take more of our freedom away, because we can't be trusted to do the right thing, whether is what food we eat, the size of soft drink we purchase, or about guns. Well, what does Nanny Bloomberg have to show for it? Higher murder rates. From what I understand, the theatre had a "no weapons" policy. Maybe if a concealed weapon had been allowed, some hero might have been able to save some lives by shooting this bastard, as Katie Pavlich reminds us.

Then there were the liberal entertainers, who just had to remind everyone what a bunch of horses' asses they were. I'm talking to you, Cher, you washed up liberal hag!

She should be thankful she met and married Sonny Bono, because without him, she'd have just been a fifth rate lounge singer in some New Jersey Ramada Inn, married to some bagel boy.

Guns, nor American exceptionalism did not cause yesterday's tragedy. It was the act of one individual with some real serious issues that it's unknown if he was getting help for or not. But too often, liberals and big government Republicans too often want to blame society as a whole, and make us give up more of our liberty and security for the actions of a few, so they can make themselves feel better.

A heavily armed gunman killed at least 12 people and wounded 50 more during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.

Earlier, police said 14 had been killed.

Police arrested a man believed to be the shooter in a rear parking lot of the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman, told CNN. The suspect was not immediately identified, though Fania said he was believed to be in his early 20s.

"He did not resist. He did not put up a fight," Fania said. Police seized a rifle and a handgun from the suspect, and another gun was found in the theater, he said.

Meanwhile, Obama has put out an ad, claiming his words were "taken out of context" (no they weren't). Essentially, Obama is saying "how dare you keep me from distracting the electorate from my bad record." (Althouse).

Things got contentious at a Jewish Americans for Obama rally in Elkins Park, PA last night, in which our "friend" Debbie Wasserman-Schultz ("Thunderlips") was the featured speaker (Bill Lawrence Online).

The headline speaker was Democrat National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida's 20th District in Congress. Unexpected heckling to her claims that the President was a strong supporter of Israel visibly upset and flustered her.

Ms. Wasserman Schultz made her appearance quite late and this appeared to force the other speakers to go on longer than they had expected.

Daylin Leach, who represents the 17th District in the state senate, told the crowd that the Republican Party was full of anti-Semitism. He said, without irony in front of the synagogue's podium that the Republicans are theocrats who don't believe in separation of church and state, all the while describing the importance of his Jewish values. He, as did most of the speakers, reiterated the GOP's opposition to abortion as a reason they must not be allowed to have the presidency back. When he spoke dismissively that Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia would be opposed by those with Jewish family values, he was rebutted from the audience with a cry of "not true" stopping him cold.

Actions speak louder than words, and it's apparent that Obama is no friend of Israel. That as well as the fact that the same old B.S. from Democrats isn't going to fly this year.

Wasserman Schultz has been relentless in her mocking of Romney’s offshore holdings and tax records even after it was disclosed that she had her own offshore investments including a Swiss Bank Account and holdings in foreign drug companies and the State Bank of India. In a desperate attempt to distract from the president’s record of failure, Wasserman Schultz has tried to paint Romney as a “one percenter” who outsources American jobs overseas and is disconnected from the American people. Wasserman Schultz has even boldly claimed that “I’m a Middle Class American.”

But now the Shark Tank has come into possession of information that has never been publicly disclosed which completely undermines Wasserman Schultz’ credibility as it pertains to her calls for transparency or the claim that she qualifies as “middle class.”

Speaking of “offshore” interests, on 6/9/12 Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz took a one-week cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean ‘Oasis of the Seas’ luxury liner to the Western Caribbean, embarking from Port Everglades, Florida. According to an individual that we’ll simply identify as “Bruce from Weston” who was also on the same cruise along with his family, Wasserman Schultz took the cruise with her husband Steve and three children along with Broward County School Board member Robin Bartleman and her family.

“Bruce” informed us that his own son became friendly with one of Wasserman Schultz’ daughters while the kids were playing in one of the ship’s designated play areas. Wasserman Schultz’ daughter then invited him up to the suite that her family was staying in.

While it shouldn’t be remarkable that Wasserman Schultz and her family took a cruise, the extent of her accommodations are most certainly eye-popping.

The two-story, spiral-staircase ‘Loft Suite’ that Bruce’s son was invited up to was on the 17th deck that overlooked the rear of the ship. According to Royal Caribbean, a 7-Day Cruise for 4 guests ranges from $15,264.08 in the Crown Loft Suite, to $19,364.08 in the Sky Loft Suite. These two types of suites are only found on the 17th Deck. (Source-Royal Caribbean)

So the question begs- how can someone earning a living on a congressional salary afford such a lavish suite on a cruise ship- especially someone who so adamantly claims she is “middle class?” Also take into consideration that Wasserman Schultz’ family was a party of five on board the cruise ship, meaning that they would have been charged an additional $1615 for the fifth guest, bringing the cost of the cruise somewhere between $16,879.08 and $20,979.08.

....Back on the mainland, Newbury, New Hampshire is a quaint little town that’s located in Merrimack County. According to public records, we’ve learned that Wasserman Schultz owns a second home here along with another land parcel. Based on our own public records search, these assets have never been previously disclosed by Wasserman Schultz.

As per congressional disclosure rules, Wasserman Schultz is not required to report either her personal residence or additional properties that do not generate rental income. If Wasserman Schultz were to release her personal income tax returns as requested by her Republican congressional opponent Karen Harrington, these assets would then be disclosed.(Source)

Debbie may not be not running for President, but she is running for federal office. We believe that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander- if you are repeatedly calling for your political opponents to fully disclose their tax returns, Debbie should be prepared to do the same.

To this point, Debbie continues to dodge our request for her tax returns. The question now arises- just what is the Congresswoman hiding?-Karen Harrington

...The first piece of property listed as owned by Wasserman Schultz is identified as Lot 17 at 17 Meadow Rd, Newbury, NH. The second property listed is as being owned by Steve and Deborah Schultz, located at 57 Meadow Rd, Newbury, NH. The Schultz’ have carried several mortgages on this property, the first on May 20, 2005 for $349,660, the second on June 30, 2008 for $371,250, the third on April 27, 2009, and the last one on November 24, 2010 for $374,500.

So let’s do some simple math. The Schultz’ 2010 value of their Newbury, NH home is estimated at $503,400, which includes the land and the 3 bedroom structure. When you add the total estimated value of her primary residence in Weston, Florida, valued in 2012 at $409,850, Wasserman Schultz has close to $1 million in total real property.

Combined with her recently disclosed foreign investments and her husband’s undetermined salary at the Community Bank of Broward, can Debbie Wasserman Schultz really count herself as just another “middle class” American who practices full disclosure of her own assets in the interests of transparency?

With a property in another state, one wonders if Wasserman-Schultz might also be registered to vote in that state, as well was Florida. Not that I'm saying she did, mind you, but voter fraud is a felony.

DNC Party Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (aka "Thunderlips") apparently doesn't like a free press, including members of the new media.

Over the weekend, she had Florida blogger (and CPAC 2011 Blogger of the Year) Javier Manjarres of The Shark Tank kicked out of the Hollywood, FL Jefferson-Jackson gala dinner, despite the fact that Javier was given press credentials at the door.

After I arrived, I asked where the media check-in was. One of the Party’s event staffers directed me to the media riser and seating area. There I ran into a young kid, who happened to be the Deputy Communications Director for the party. As I introduced myself, he instantly knew who I was and he politely asked me if I was able to get a press pass.

I explained to him that I just decided to attend at the last minute and did not previously request one. He told me that it was not a problem and went off to find me a media credential. Five minutes later he returned with a press pass for me and we parted ways.

Before the dinner started, I was able to interview former Congressman Alan Grayson, and I had the opportunity to speak to many other Democrat candidates, Obama staffers and operatives, most of whom don’t like what I write, but respect my work.

So the dinner began and I started the video camera rolling. I decided to go the restroom, and just as I was about to walk into the dining hall one of Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s handlers walked out and was amazed to see me there. We pleasantly spoke about some past orthopedic injuries we both shared in a past conversation.

I had previously ran into this same staffer in Miami several months ago, and she was wearing a sling after she dislocated her elbow. She asked me about my shoulder and discussed my own multiple shoulder surgeries that required me to wear the same sling she had to wear.

As I got back to the media riser, I noticed my ‘friend’ whisking around the room pointing me out to party staffers. One lady came up to me and asked me if I had credentials, and I showed her the orange press pass that younger gentleman first gave me. She left. Then the same Deputy Communications Director came back and asked me to step out and have a word with him.

He told me that he had to ask me to leave because I didn’t initially RSVP for the event. Yup, that’s right, they knew who I was, gave me a press pass, then yanked it because Wasserman Schultz asked them to kick me out. Note that the Debbie’s handler does not lift a finger without her boss’ approval. He then demanded that I return the press pass to him, which I did, but not after I poked him by asking if I could take a picture of it. He was not amused.

This was also the case in Miami about two months ago at non-profit event SaveDade, where both Wasserman Schultz and Senator Bill Nelson spoke. The event hosts welcomed me with open arms, and stated that they were big fans of the website.

Just as Wasserman Schultz was about to speak, the same handler tried to do the same thing and boot me from the event. But the organizers of the event did not grant the request, because it was their event, not Wasserman Schultz’. She then warned Senator Bill Nelson’s entourage who quickly escorted him out the back door of the event, avoiding the front door he originally entered through.

I attend numerous Marco Rubio, Allen West, Rick Scott and other Republican events, and the Republican events never boot any of the Democrat blogs or actual paid Democrat party trackers. Just ask Congressman Allen West who has a following of no less than three of these Democrat bloggers and trackers.

There you have it. Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz knows that I have treated her with the utmost respect and have never personally attacked her. This is about issues and ideology, nothing more, nothing less. You know this is true Debbie, as we have discussed this before- have you forgotten?

No wonder Democrats like media outlets who will act like lapdogs instead of watchdogs, hence all the attacks on Fox News. And now that policy stands to citizen journalists, except I'm sure the Puffington Host and Daily Kooks liberal blogs.

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

I don't think a lot of business owners would owe the start of their business to "That One." In fact, many would blame his Regime for the fact they cannot hire new workers, or are having to go out of business, due to government regulations, ObamaCare, and a host of other red tape.

In 1981 our critics charged that letting you keep more of your earnings would trigger an inflationary explosion, send interest rates soaring, and destroy our economy. Well, we cut your tax rates anyway by nearly 25 percent. And what that helped trigger was falling inflation, falling interest rates, and the strongest economic expansion in 30 years.

...By lowering everyone's tax rates all the way up the income scale, each of us will have a greater incentive to climb higher, to excel, to help America grow.

...To young Americans wondering tonight, where will I go, what will I do with my future, I have a suggestion: Why not set out with your friends on the path of adventure and try to start up your own business? Follow in the footsteps of those two college students who launched one of America's great computer firms from the garage behind their house. You, too, can help us unlock the doors to a golden future. You, too, can become leaders in this great new era of progress—the age of the entrepreneur.

My goal is an America bursting with opportunity, an America that celebrates freedom every day by giving every citizen an equal chance, an America that is once again the youngest nation on Earth—her spirit unleashed and breaking free. For starters, lowering personal tax rates will give a hefty boost to the nearly 15 million small businesses which are individual proprietorships or partnerships.

Reagan and conservatives understand that what makes America great is the people, not any President or government program. Government does not create economic growth. Economic growth and entrepreneurship begins when government gets out of the way and off people's backs, allowing them to invest in their ideas and dreams while employing others along the way.

More evidence on why I call him Richard Milhous Obama because of what he's allowing government agencies to do. This appears in, of all places, the New York Slimes (emphasis mine).

A wide-ranging surveillance operation by the Food and Drug Administration against a group of its own scientists used an enemies list of sorts as it secretly captured thousands of e-mails that the disgruntled scientists sent privately to members of Congress, lawyers, labor officials, journalists and even President Obama, previously undisclosed records show.

What began as a narrow investigation into the possible leaking of confidential agency information by five scientists quickly grew in mid-2010 into a much broader campaign to counter outside critics of the agency’s medical review process, according to the cache of more than 80,000 pages of computer documents generated by the surveillance effort.

Moving to quell what one memorandum called the “collaboration” of the F.D.A.’s opponents, the surveillance operation identified 21 agency employees, Congressional officials, outside medical researchers and journalists thought to be working together to put out negative and “defamatory” information about the agency.

F.D.A. officials defended the surveillance operation, saying that the computer monitoring was limited to the five scientists suspected of leaking confidential information about the safety and design of medical devices.

While they acknowledged that the surveillance tracked the communications that the scientists had with Congressional officials, journalists and others, they said it was never intended to impede those communications, but only to determine whether information was being improperly shared.

The agency, using so-called spy software designed to help employers monitor workers, captured screen images from the government laptops of the five scientists as they were being used at work or at home. The software tracked their keystrokes, intercepted their personal e-mails, copied the documents on their personal thumb drives and even followed their messages line by line as they were being drafted, the documents show.

So will all the liberals who got mad when the Bush Administration was keeping track of people suspected of having links to Islamic terrorists show equal or more outrage at how the Obama Regime is tracking domestic employees? Or, are they going to be like sheeple and defend these Nixonian tactics?

Richard Milhous Obama received a welcome he didn't want from a couple hundred protesters outside Centreville High School in Clifton, VA this afternoon, as he was arriving to speak to "grassroots" supporters at the Farifax County public school.

This was the scene as his motorcade arrived at the school.

Virginia has become one of many battleground states in November's election. In 2008, the state went into the Democrat column for the first time since the 1964 re-election of the putrid Lyndon Baines Johnson. So the intensity of both sides was evident at several times during the rally.

Both sides chanted back and forth at each other.

One of my Freeper Friends even walked by the Obamabots with his sign, and got the following reactions:

Earlier, a couple of Obama volunteers got a lecture on why Obamacare is not a good idea.

Some of the signs from the protesters: OMG stands for "Obama Must Go."

The Romney Campaign Bus showed up as well, with several campaign volunteers.

The Obamabots waited in a stretching line outside the school, waiting to get in.
